The fine covered five alleged violations of workplace safety codes, including a failure to maintain a safe working environment and to properly train workers handling hazardous materials, according to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health.

As usual the news media is less than informative. We do not know any details of the violations for example. I would think that would be public record, but maybe not. But this little item at the end of the story is VERY interesting!

The announcement of the violations and fines occurred as Rutan is scheduled to unveil scale models of SpaceShipTwo and its mother ship, WhiteKnightTwo, at a New York news conference next week.
